worried

So i'm 35 weeks. I had to be induced with my first because of low fluid. I had been having ultrasounds weekly to check on it, I had to go to MFM to have my placenta and umbilical cord looked at. They never found out why my fluid was so low. They tested for leaking fluid and it came back negative. Anyway, i'm super scared the same thing is happening with this lo.. My pregnancies have been pretty much the same other than that this time my placenta is anterior. My fluids have been on the low end, but not low enough to need to be induced. I've been having more ultrasounds this time to check on her growth and fluids, but I don't have another one for 2 weeks and i'm worried the same thing is happening and we don't even know.. I haven't been sleeping well at night cause I can't stop worrying.

I understand anxiety. Is there a L&D you can call to go in to check on baby? Mine is very understanding about my anxiety (I've had a loss) and wants to me come in if my anxiety gets to the point i can't sleep.

Sleep is a necessity. Take care of yourself. Do what you can to get some resolution so you can rest.

My insurance doesn't start until july, and dh (dear husband) doesn't have a job at the moment, so I don't want to cause any extra expenses just because I worry too much.. Part of me is trying to be rational and thinking that if my ob was really worried about it I would have weekly ultrasounds and nst's again, but another part of me can't help worrying..
